MCMC (Markov Chain Monte Carlo) and MC Statistical Methods are very powerful statistical techniques for parameter estimation and related problems. They are particularly useful for the difficult nonlinear or non-Gaussian case. Using a large data set, these techniques can also be used to make inference on parameters, to integrate nuisance parameters, to evaluate functions numerically or to solve optimization problems.
We have applied these methods to several interesting problems: (J-R. Larocque)
The following work is being done by William Ng.
Work is now in progress with the objective of using MCMC and sequential MC methods for restoration of signals using sensor arrays; i.e., we wish to extract a signal of interest from multiple interfering sources. This has been accomplished for the narrowband case, and work has been extended to the more difficult wideband case.
